A number of cases are resolved at the mediation phase or through other official settlements.

How come my divorce doesn't qualify under your flat-fee rates?

If your divorce consists of concerns such as not agreeing on child custody, non-agreement over alimony or not agreeing on the division of marital items, a flat-fee divorce is usually not a choice.
